Description 

Constraint logic programming lies at the intersection of logic programming, optimisation and artificial intelligence. It has proved a successful tool in many areas including production planning, transportation scheduling, numerical analysis and bioinformatics. Eclipse is one of the leading software systems that realise its underlying methodology. Eclipse is exploited commercially by Cisco, and is freely available and used for teaching and research in over 500 universities. This book has a two-fold purpose. It's an introduction to constraint programming, appropriate for one-semester courses for upper undergraduate or graduate students in computer science or for programmers wishing to master the practical aspects of constraint programming. By the end of the book, the reader will be able to understand and write constraint programs that solve complex problems. Second, it provides a systematic introduction to the Eclipse system through carefully-chosen examples that guide the reader through the language and illustrate its power, versatility and utility.

• This is the first practical introduction to constraint programming; shows how to understand and write constraint programs that solve complex problems: all the code is available via the web

 • Aimed at one-semester courses for upper undergraduate or graduate students, and at programmers wishing to master practical aspects of constraint programming: over 40 exercises with selected answers

 • A systematic introduction to Eclipse, one of the most popular and powerful constraint programming systems available free for educational purposes, it has been licensed to over 500 institutions

描述

約束邏輯編程位於邏輯編程、優化和人工智慧的交叉點上。它已被證明在許多領域中都是一個成功的工具,包括生產計劃、運輸排程、數值分析和生物信息學。Eclipse是實現其基本方法的領先軟件系統之一。Eclipse在商業上被Cisco利用,並且在500多所大學中免費提供並用於教學和研究。本書有兩個目的。首先,它是一本約束編程的介紹,適合計算機科學本科或研究生的一學期課程,或者希望掌握約束編程實際方面的程序員。通過本書,讀者將能夠理解和編寫解決複雜問題的約束程序。其次,它通過精心選擇的例子系統地介紹了Eclipse系統,引導讀者了解該語言並展示其強大、多功能和實用性。

• 這是對約束編程的第一個實用介紹;展示了如何理解和編寫解決複雜問題的約束程序:所有代碼都可以通過網絡獲取
• 面向本科或研究生的一學期課程,以及希望掌握約束編程實際方面的程序員:超過40個練習題和選定答案
• 對Eclipse的系統介紹,Eclipse是最受歡迎和功能強大的約束編程系統之一,可免費用於教育目的,已經授權給500多所機構
